Since I last wrote we had a fire muster and a fire ball! It
was a fun weekend but at the same time I’m glad it’s over. Planning a ball is
hard work! It turned out really well and I think that everyone who attended had
lots of fun.

The fire muster was a challenge. We had a team of Fire Wives
and we did AWESOME! We came in 4th out of 5 teams, which means we
beat a bunch of guys, GO US! We started out having to do a bunker drill, where
we had to get off cots, run and put the bunker gear on (with everything
buttoned correctly), and then runt to a finish line. We then did Hose Bowling,
where we had to throw and unravel a hose to knock down bowling pins. Let me
first say this is harder than it looks and secondly it’s very dangerous. (well
at least for me it was). We then had to do a dummy drag and carry. We drug the
dummy 50 ft and then put the dummy on a cot. At that point two of us carried
the dummy on the cot 100ft. The next person drug the dummy 50 ft and we carried
it 100ft again. Then the next 2 people in your team went. THIS WAS THE HARDEST
EVENT OF THE DAY!!!! The next event consisted of unrolling the hose, joining
two hoses, running back to the start, undo the hoses and then roll them back up
so the next two people on your team could go. We then did the Kaiser Sled. And
the last event was a bucket brigade. We had lots of fun and were able to do
some of the drills our husbands do at work.

On Monday, Bubba, Colin and I went to Dover to the Castle. I love England, and
the fact that we have so many different historical sights, but once you’ve seen
one castle, you’ve pretty much seen them all. The one good thing about Dover is they have the
secret war tunnels from WWII that you can go in. Had it not been so late in the
day we would have gone, but we will go back and see those. We drove down to the
ferry docks and took a few pictures of the white cliffs. I’m sure there may be
a better way to see them, but that was all we could do that day.
